However, only a few alternative lessons have to be taken into account here. While Fantastic four A suffered a steep drop and Warner Bros. and DCS own hard universe reset in Superhuman It turned out when it was more robust legs when it opened a little larger and then fell healthy 53.2 percent on the second weekend. Kal-El will even have to use all of its fuel over $ 600 million worldwide. Comparatively universal Jurassic World The restart opened this month has a shot of 800 million US dollars worldwide.
There could be a new blanket for the superhero genre that Hollywood has not accepted. Of course there are outliers, but they tend to rely on nostalgia for the “old brands”, as well as the constant diet of the industry in the 2010s also based on the pulling of Harrison Ford or Jeff Goldblum from franchise pensioning. Bring Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine or Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man or maybe (maybe only) Robert Downey Jr. Avengers: Doomsday can charge some of these films.
But in the new normality, superhero films expect $ 800 million, let alone $ 1 billion, increasingly looks like outdated pie-in-the-sky thinking worldwide. Even other long-term franchise companies like these dinosaurs at Universal do not do what you did a decade ago, you still do more than the Cape.
All of this can be said that the second weekend by Fantastic Four in line with the way other franchise companies of the past were perceived as exceptionally preinstalled. It remains a central and dedicated fan base that the studios would be advisable, but even if this is the case, the chance to bring the “casual” cinema -goer without a lively nostalgia game will only be more difficult. In this case, it will be much more difficult to further justify the reported budgets in the neighborhood of 200 million US dollars or the system, which tinker these balloon price signs through new states and heavy VFX until the last minute.
Or vice versa, the contrary argument remains that Marvel is in a reconstruction phase. How Batman begins'Soft opening eight years after the financial and creative boondoggle from Batman & RobinThe studio and the genre are still in the process of regaining the trust of the people. And remember that not either Thor still Captain America: The first avenger Would be paradigms in 2011. We would even argue that criticism of graphics and processing applies First steps are also obvious in First avenger 14 years ago. However, both films were a solid foot in the door and a year later after they had been juiced by the hype for the first one avenger Crossovers, both IPs benefited from a large bump in their sequels.
Perhaps Fantastic Four can bounce just as well after you have anchored a few Avengers films that have a similar way in the next few years? Maybe it will really get to how Avengers: Doomsday And Secret wars are received. At least in the meantime, Marvel (and Sony!) Have as close as possible on the horizon: Spider-Man: Brand new day. And in the event that you missed it, the studios have already confirmed that it contains crossovers with Mark Ruffalos Hulk and Jon Bernthals Punisher to boot …
